Java Persistence with Hibernate

15.5. Summary

In this chapter, you've generated queries programmatically with the Hibernate Criteria and Example APIs. We also looked at embedded and externalized SQL queries and how you can map the resultset of an SQL query to more convenient business objects automatically. Java Persistence also supports native SQL and standardizes how you can map the resultset of externalized SQL queries.

Finally, we covered the query result cache and discussed why it's useful only in certain situations.

Table 15.1 shows a summary you can use to compare native Hibernate features and Java Persistence.
